Of course it can be done, but it would be a lot of work
to do so.  All key bindings etc would have to be wrapped
into forms testing if org has already been loaded etc etc.

Maybe the easiest is to restart org-mode in all relevant buffers

(mapc (lambda (b)
	(with-current-buffer b
	  (and (org-mode-p) (org-mode))))
       (buffer-list))

Maybe org-reload should actually do so?  The main side effect
would be that the outline visibility would change back to it's
initial values.
